Richard Bach

I really enjoy reading books from the author Richard Bach. I have read about seven pr eight different books he wrote, several times, and continue finding each and everyone of the one I read fascinating. What probably makes me so fond of his books are one of the things we have in common, which is airplanes. Most of the times. Bach's books are about airplanes or at least include airplanes. One of my favorite books that hw wrote is Ilusions, which talks about a reluctant man who is learning how to be a messiah.
He discovers his master while he is flying with his biplane lokking for farms to land on, and sell flights for a living. It is a very good philosophical book. Another one of my favorites is Nothing by Chance. In this specific novel, Bach talks about three people which are known as the trio of the Flying American Circus.
They consist in two pilots, a bibplane, a monoplane, and a parachuter. The story is about these people who can't bare with modern society anymore, and just try to make a living by selling flights for three dollars (this was in about 1960), and move from onw city to the next trying to find for a place to land. It is an excellent book, and it details a lot how it must be to have such a life. Something i really like about Bach's writting, is that it is not totally fictional. Somwtimes it can even be considered based on real stories, as is the case of nothing by chance. I really recommend Bach's literature, mainly these two mentioned novels.

  1. Nice book reviews. I've never read anything by this author, but he sounds interesting.

    (Try to do a little proofreading before you post; there are several small typos here that I know you can catch yourself.)
